Menokreatikkul; Saturday Stitches

COMMENTS: If, this morning, the problem with not being able to comment on each other's blogs is continuing, and further to my etherwobblies emergency post yesterday, please note that the issue has been raised with Google/Blogger, and an official thread is now open. You can log a vote for "I have the same question" to add to the complaint numbers... even better, if you can, leave a comment with your experience and which browser/s you use/d. 

BLOCKED COMMENTS ROLL-UP THREAD.

I'm baa-aack! Okay, confession, and probably no surprise, there was very little stitching undertaken during the hiatus. It was a hot and sticky summer, even in Dunoon. Not conducive to working with yarns. Even cotton ones...(ugh... that turquoise number is well on the back burner now...) As for the Lorinda jacket that I was working on while staying with Aitch, I am finding the bottom-up construction...interesting. The sleeves were worked as rounds (magic loop on circulars), then knitted into the main body at the start of the yoke section...

...it is much further on, but still unfinished. I hope to bring you better results next week, as I am focusing only on this project at the moment. 

Meanwhile, the video I was watching appeared in my viewing list through the algorithm, and I think you might enjoy it too. The presenter is a professor emerita in psychology but has this fantastic side hustle with her 'Eweniversity'! I've checked out a couple of her other posts and am now hooked! Here's the one I was watching... Happy stitching, whatever your project!

COMMENTS NOT PUBLISHING.... Action to take

Many of you will by now have been frustrated at the endlessly hung comments 'publishing' thing that is going on today on Blogger. 

I am going to encourage you all to go to THIS LINK, where you can hit the 'same question' tab and add your vote to have the issue looked at by the Google team.

Just in case you have an aversion to hyperlinks and prefer to paste and copy, here is the link in full:

You will note I added my own comment to the question raised. There are also some other questions posed, which you can add your vote to. Just hit the 'back' above the question box to see the others. By all means, also repost this to your own blogs so that the word can spread and action taken quickly... here's hoping things are back to normal by tomorrow! 

Menoturals; First Friday Filmclub

The LLB gang provide us with a link-up for Nature Friday every week, and sometimes I stretch the connection with nature in my posts. Particularly when it comes to these First Friday offerings! However, as the connection is farming, I think this is okay. The video is less than half an hour in total, but if you wish to jump straight to the section relating to Loch Arthur Community (remember I visited there and was super impressed), then skip to minute ten:fifty. However, I think most of you will enjoy the first section, which has some archaeological discovery when a farmer ploughed up what he thought was an old tree. A lot of these historical discoveries in Scotland occur because of ploughing... one wonders how many are noticed and not just ploughed all the way back in and broken down.
